By Roy Steele If anyone wants to know the truth about Florida’s pernicious ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation, it’s a license to target lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people with discrimination and violence, and it could encourage LGBTQ teens and adolescents to harm themselves. Spring Hill, Florida is a census-designated place of about one hundred thousand people, that lies just north of Tampa. It is adjacent to Shady Hills, a small town that’s known for the homing pigeons that locals love to race. Florida’s bombastic, shady, and divisive, Republican governor chose to stage his ..read more

The definitive list of the top twenty-four gay icons. By Roy Steele It won't come as a shock to anyone when I say I'm a friend of Dorothy!  I was messing around and trying to create a realistic portrait of Judy Garland, the first and most prominent gay icon in history, and shared a draft with my dear friend Matthew Newman who lives in South Africa. He gave me positive feedback and suggested that I do more portraits like it - so I gave it a whirl! I must say at the outset that I’m NOT an artist. I taught myself the basics of graphic design through trial and error using onlin ..read more

The zany comedy Breaking News In Yuba County (2021) is the most under-appreciated movie of the year. By Roy Steele I’m a gay man with an opinion about lots of things happening today. From politics to pop culture and history, science, and technology, I follow these topics and read about them constantly, and because I’m human I form opinions about them. I’m not a movie critic per se but I’m a consumer of music, television, and film, and I like to be entertained. I watch television and see lots of movies, and I form my opinion about these art forms based on my emotions. This movie was n ..read more

LGBTQ Sen. Kyrsten Sinema - From Obstructionist To Shero?

By Roy Steele There are exactly two United States Senators who publicly identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are the dynamic and capable LGBTQ duo in the upper chamber of Congress.  With only two LGBTQ Senators, I worry about their images and how they are portrayed in the media because it reflects on our community.  For the past few months, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sinema have been in the news every day because of their opposition to the budget reconciliation bill in the Senate. Since Democrats hav ..read more

Racism: Marjorie Taylor Greene's Anglo-Saxon Obsession By Roy Steele The embattled Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA) is fighting hard for attention and relevance in the halls of Congress, among the media, and in the Republican party. She’s a political rookie who dove headfirst into the deep end. She wants to be useful and productive but is in water way over her head. She seemingly has nothing to do except stir up trouble. When her proposal to impeach President Joe Biden didn’t go anywhere (due to a minor detail like the lack of a high crime or misdemeanor), she was bored. After tre ..read more

DUMB DUMB Donald Trump looks into a mirror being held by an aide at CPAC 2021 in Orlando, Florida. By Roy Steele There he was in his stock uniform. Wearing that wrinkled navy blue ill fitting suit. The ‘Just For Men’ dyed blonde hair and orange makeup. His red necktie askew, held together with scotch tape and never tied properly. I thought to myself, that rude and inarticulate bully and used car salesman was once a president. Sheesh.  It was funny to watch and observe the GOP at their gathering. It was like being a fly on the wall or going to a zoo. At the CPAC 2021 conventi ..read more

Gay circuit-party The White Party in Palm Springs, California. By Christopher T. Conner, University of Missouri-Columbia When coronavirus restrictions threatened the White Party, an annual gay circuit party held in Palm Springs, California, the organizer, Jeffrey Sanker, decided to move the festivities to Jalisco, Mexico.
